I am really new to all of this so I apologise upfront if I am being stupid - but can someone please enlighten me:

I have successfully been able to upload XAMPP for windows. When I type 127.0.0.1 in my browser I get the welcome screen that I expected BUT it is German. I would like to test that everthing is working properly but I can't understand a word.

No flags or anything like that. It is just a bit frustrating because I am very new to all of this. I seem to have everything installed ok. All I need to do now is to work out how to use all the components PHP/MySQL etc. Quite a big challenge but looking forward to it.
